The Funeral: A Service of Witness to the Resurrection : the Worship of GodThis liturgical resource will help guide pastors and other church workers as they help church members through the bereavement process. The Presbyterian Supplemental Liturgical Resource (SLT) series includes liturgies that were used on a trial basis in preparation for the development of the Book of Common Worship. Though superseded by the Book of Common Worship, SLR resources remain valuable, both for the variety of liturgical texts they contain and for the commentary on the text, which contains rich historical, theological, and practical background. |
